1. Give your liver credit for being one of the hardest-working organs in your body, as it performs hundreds of functions. âI call it the Grand Central station of your body,â Dr. Decker says. In a nutshell, your liver processes anything you eat or drink, and either repackages it for your body to use or eliminates it.f youâre a healthy person, you might not think twice about your liver â and for good reason. âIf youâre healthy, youâre probably not even aware of what your liverâs doing,â says G. Anton Decker, MD, chief medical officer of Banner Medical Group and gastroenterologist in Phoenix.
Costa Rica is relatively small - 19,700 square miles (51,100 sq. km), ranking it 129th in worldwide landmass. Costa Rica's size is commonly compared to the state of West Virgina (24,231 sq. mi., 62,758 sq. km) and the European state of Denmark (16,629 sq. mi., 43,069 sq. km).
Obviously, this diversity is also much greater than that of temperate and cold regions. With a land area of only 51.100 km2 (0.03% of the planetâs surface) and 589.000 km2 of territorial waters, Costa Rica is considered to be one of the 20 countries with greatest biodiversity in the world.he institution charged with the task of administering Costa Ricaâs biodiversity is the Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MINAE), and more specifically to the National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC), which is responsible for the conservation and sustainable use of the countryâs biodiversity.
